You can power the drives using a standard PC power supply and power them using a switch like this one: https://ebay.io/m/jRSozI
Comment on Recommended mini pc for a homelab?
poVoq@slrpnk.net 1 day ago How will you power the drives?
And from what I have heard, these m2 to SATA adapters have over-heating issues.

Sure, but the point of getting a mini-pc is usually not that you have an open case with a second ATX PSU sitting on top to power some extra hardrives.

Because you can buy something like this Sata drive enclosure: https://a.co/d/004sj6TS, and power it with a small ATX power supply.

Like I said, still didn’t test mine, so can’t even confirm if it works at all, much less if it overheats :/
